I know this system is GPS based. I'm looking for input about this product for future purchase. Anyone using the new StarGazer system? Also, how easy/hard is the installation if you did it yourself? Thanks WW.

Installation is very easy. Routing wires took the most time and effort. Set up is very easy. Use is very easy. I'm happy with it. Now someone will chime in with a statement about river currents, that I don't care about.

I have PP stargazer on my I/O and love it...so much better than feathering the throttle to keep it stable. It is accurate within .2 mph constantly. I tested against my cell phone GPS and a handheld Garmin receiver. I think I paid about 1350 installed with tax.

tony, I've had signal drop in a couple of places on the Shuswap lake in the mountains of central BC. For me, relocating the antenna puck made a big difference. It would be less of a problem further south.

Tony, what mine did was freeze. It still kept the same speed on display but the boat slowed down. When it kicked back in the boat over shot and then returned to running right. I got blamed for it all until I figured it out. It also happened once when someone in the bow was leaning over the puck. Finding the right location helped a lot. All of California is so much further south I don't expect it would be a problem. We get a great lock on the North Pole satellite but the rest are on the equator and it's an angle shot across the horizon to get them. I just know it can be an issue but it does not matter if you still have enough locked in. I thought about putting the puck on top of the tower but did not have to. I can still get a problem but it's easy to avoid the problem now, and I know just what's happening if it shows up. I'm still really happy with it.

Nice dash Bruce. I ordered mine with the Sanger logo. You can get Supra and others too.

Has anyone attempted to install this on their own? I've read that the GPS based system has a lot less wires and no more paddle wheel hook up. Is the install manual pretty straight forward? My system is coming in a few days, stoked!

Bruce, I hope it's easy. I'm pretty good with stereo and small service work. I think the hardest part is taking the dash apart and mounting the PP. We'll see how it goes. Thanks for the input everyone.

Hey,&#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;I'm installing the stargazer on my 2006 Sanger V210 and I'm at the point now where i need to hook up the rpm wires to the existing RPM Tach.. I need a bit of help as I'm not sure which color wires to tap into. Any help would be appreciated

zammer, the grey wire is usually the tach. You might also find a marked pickup wire at saying 'tach' or 'rpm' at on the engine near the distributor. If you find one you can run a wire directly from that source to the Stargazer pickup.

Ian, just wanted to publicly say thanks for the discount. My bad for not mentioning I was member earlier. Everyone, if you're looking into getting PP give Ian a call, helped me out a ton and has the best price I could find. End hijack!
